Greetings,

I am new to this forum so bare with me. I have an 11 year old goddaughter who called me last night to tell me she wanted a Green Basilisk and what could I tell her about them ? Since I know nothing about lizards, I told her I'd look in to it and I can't think of a better place then here to look. Is a Green Basilisk a good lizard to start out with ? And what should she expect to spend to get started and maintain an animal like this ?

Thank you for your responses.
